A NOTE FROM Library Director Chris Kreiden This year the Library is proud to present three summer reading programs: There is our traditional program for children with a theme of Reading by Design with Little Eliott the Elephant. For every ten books read (or the equivalent) the reader earns a prize. No one is too young to join in the fun, if a child can t yet read they can be read to. Any young participant who reaches 100 books by the end of summer will join our Reader s Hall of Fame. For those young at heart, the theme for our second adult summer reading program is bingo. For every bingo completed by September 1st, you will be entered into a raffle for a chance to win our grand prize of two tickets to Bookmark Napa Valley 2018 which will be held this coming January by Friends & Foundation, St. Helena Public Library. The authors to be highlighted at this event have yet to be announced. There is also the chance to win $25 gift cards to each of the following: Cameo Cinema, Gott s Roadside, Main Street Books, or Napa Valley Coffee Roasting Company. And new this year is our first ever summer reading program just for teens. Again the theme is bingo but with its own teen twist. Each bingo provides an opportunity to win a $25 gift card to either Gott s Roadside or the Napa Valley Coffee Roasting Company, or the grand prize of a $50 gift card for a night at Cameo Cinema. Thank you, Friends & Foundation, for sponsoring the Library s summer reading programs and prizes, along with our events this summer. Thank you for supporting our Library!
